Another terrific dance number from Gene Kelly and Donald O'Conner.
I'm so glad I finally remembered some of the lyrics to this song, because googling "two gay men taunt a speech therapist with tap-dancing" wasn't getting me anywhere
Lol what made you think they were gay
Lmao
gay in the old sense of the word means 'happy' instead of homosexuals. So nothing wrong with that
the poly energy between Don, Cosmo, and Kathy is palpable. They all have so much chemistry
I know you're mostly joking, but I saw this number one time when I was a kid and never forgot the lyrics of the chorus. Too catchy. ;)
Ah the good ol' days when two young men could be randomly overcome with the power of dance and harass a pronunciation specialist in his own office without question.
And that's a pretty big office, too!
Ah! The good ole days.And if the two young men were Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor I'd let them and not complain.I wonder how many takes it took for this scene?
++++
Those were the days 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
All for the sake of makin' em laugh!
2:14 - I hate how that always happens - one moment you're giving people a diction lesson, the next they're tap-dancing on your table.
+Michael Lubin You too?
It's a surprisingly common occurrence with show people. :)
LOL!
วรฤทธิ์ แสนวัง shut up
Michael Lubin lol
OK, I love Gene Kelly, but this whole movie would be nothing without Donald O'Connor. He basically does everything, finds the girl, saves the movie, comes up with a new title, and basically kicks ass. I would have gone with him and forget Don Lockwood if I was Kathy!
Never seen the movie but always play this scene for my 9 year old girl.
retrogeek994 wholocked must have missed his genius tap solo
Stormin Boy you should see the movie
Agreed! Not to take anything away from Gene Kelly's incredible talent, but Donald O'Connor was SO underrated! From this film alone, there's THIS number, and of course his performance in the absolutely brilliant and hysterical, "Make Em' Laugh!"
I loved dance from a young age, and even though my parents didn't let me watch much tv and we didn't watch movies, they made sure I saw this when I was young. I was absolutely entranced. I don't think I was that interested in the "romance" part until I got a little older lol, but I just LOVED the movie and will until the day I die.
One of my favorite parts of this movie is that Cosmo and Don never have a falling-out. They stay buddies the whole movie.
I always have thought the same thing I hate it when movies have an unnecessary conflict between the main character and his/her best friend when they are both characters that we really like
I like how they look at each other every now and then, as if to say, "Yeah, we got this."
Gene Kelly was a choreographic Taskmaster back then so it's him just checking on Donald. O'Connor's like yeah I got this
***** yes. So sad we watch this movie and think it's chemistry and romance, but Kelly was a mean slave driver. That's what.
comp0stable for real?
@@marmarclassic3636 Kelly was a perfectionist, he worked tirelessly on every thing he did and wanted his teammates to do the same. Don't forget he was not just an actor on this, but the choreographer and co-director as well. We can not begin to imagine the pressure he must have been under. Donald O'Connor admired Kelly and was very eager to learn whatever Gene had to offer. Kelly was a team player, he had no problem aknowledging other people's talent, he perfectly knew what he could do and what others did better and he had no shame admitting it.
Yes, he was demanding indeed. He was tough to work with because he wouldn't call it a day unless he was absolutely sure the people he supervised gave everything they had to give. Both O'Connor and Reynolds were thankful for this and what they learned with Gene, about his craft, and about themselves.
@@comp0stableand, in a way, so was Fred Astaire, their predecessor in the art of perfectioning perfectionism in dance
This is literally what it's like to be friends with theater kids...
+lalaland19991 a truer thing has never been said
😂😂😂True
+lalaland19991 They just suddenly start to tap-dance on your furniture? :O
+M'TinArts You'd be surprised what we do sometimes...
M'TinArts And they can make a song out of literally anything while proceeding to build a barricade out of the aforementioned furniture
After all of these years, this is still one of the best choreographed and danced scenes I have ever seen. Seriously the chemistry and timing these guys have is just incredible. They almost look like a single person dancing at some points they are so in-sync with each other!
This was so smooth... O'Connor and Kelly had great Chemistry. Donald said he learned from Kelly a lot about economically utilizing his lower body while dancing, and in this routine it shows.
agreed!!
William Cooper Thats it exactly. You can see that.
I've always felt this way, I'm glad I'm not alone
Watch the guy playing the teacher. He does his part well too. Without him becoming a prop it wouldn't be as good
I laughed so hard I snorted when Cosmo made the face at the teacher and got caught. I love this movie! It's priceless
I snort every time. This movie is just pure joy
Donald O’Connor deserved way more recognition and fame than he ended up getting. Either way this movie stands the test of time, and the pure athleticism and talent of both of these men is incredible.
Donald won a Golden Globe for best actor for "Singing in the "Rain."
I agree I preferred him to Kelly or Astaire
I love how expressive and charming Donald is in this dance (and throughout the movie)
Emerald Ryder, Idk I kinda think Cosmo is better...but that is just my personal opinion (3
Donald O'Connor plays Cosmo in the movie but Gene Kelly plays Donald or Don in the movie. I think that Cosmo's better too, and i'm pretty sure thats what Emerald Ryder was saying- confusing haha
I think hands down Donald O'Connor takes the cake from both Gene Kelley and Fred Astaire. Love Fred and Donald, not so much a fan of Gene's style. He's still amazing, but I prefer the other two.
@@cl604driver And Gene Nelson blows them all out of the water.
@@cl604driver why don’t you like Gene’s Style?
I can see why this was a hard scene to shoot, look at how both are in sync with each other, this is too good
***** Well... true but not completely accurate. This is not filmed in one take... there are many cuts and the audio we hear is not the audio from the video recording but dubbed. Just because digital editing was not available, that does not mean that "video editing" was not available and not done. Film can be cut, spliced, etc etc. Some of the earliest video footage available is of people doing illusions of appearing and disappearing etc... They didn't have a means of electronically manipulating the images, but that doesn't mean people really vanished. ;-)
That aside... yes absolutely two great and talented people doing amazing things truly in sync visually.
***** Oh I see... :-) Yup, good stuff!
The movie's existence is too good.
A ghost dancing with possessed tap dancing shoes brought me here.
+RedJack Man, you're my hero
woo me to!
+RedJack Same
wut ??
victortisme youve never seen it have you? Watch it. Its cute.
I think, deep down, everybody has a hankering to just bust out and do this to someone. XD Imagine a classroom full of students doing this to a teacher.
You know it, Hannah!
can't argue with that
Greatest flash mob ever!
Hannah Batchelder As a teacher, I approve of this. I wish my students would do it.
I'm like 85% sure I could get my two theater boys to do this. I'd also like to drag them into Good Morning with me. I think Isaac would be down for it, and if Nathan isn't, I can always play Cosmo.
You can never go wrong with Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor!
"Call me a cab." "OK. You are a cab."
But mostly Donald O Connor! Gene Kelly is good, but I'm here only because of Donald O Connor!
The movie makes Donald the second banana, but Donald O’Conner is second to one one, not even Gene Kelly
This was so smooth... O'Connor and Kelly had great Chemistry. Donald
said he learned from Kelly a lot about economically utilizing his lower
body while dancing, and in this routine it shows.
You can see them looking at one another like, "Yeah, we're killin' it!!!!"... They sure did.
agree with you, wm ~ i read that choreographers in their day didn't like kelly's unconventional style, & thought he'd never make it as a dancer🕺🏽 i've never seen a better duo than o'connor & kelly, myself❕
I love the way Gene dances low into his knees and hips it makes it truly mesmerizing. Donald seems to spring from the floor. Love them both!
Tharrild I love that they are completely insync but still got their own distinct dancing styles. :D
It is absurd how talented they are!
Talent straight from God.
I think they probably worked really hard for it.
Gavin Morris Donald and Debbie were the ones who really had to work at it. Donald had some, but not a lot of dance training prior to this movie. Debbie had literally none. Gene on the other hand... yes, he had to practice and work at it, but he had something inside of him that just made him amazing on the dance floor and dancing in general. The way he moves is so smooth and fluid and he has such a swagger about himself, a confidence. Just watch in this video. Donald knows what he's doing but every now and again he looks down at his feet to make sure he's doing it right and he always seems to be thinking about the next step. Just watch this once and watch only Donald. Then watch it again and watch only Gene. You'll notice he gets to a point in almost any fast dance he's doing where he throws his head back and has this little smirk on his face, that's when he does his best work. He doesn't think about the next step, it's just sort of natural to him.
Hunter Mirr Donald was a tremendous dancer BEFORE this movie...see his Universal movies and his fabulous numbers....Kelly insisted on him for the role...he wanted a terrific dancer...only someone of Donald's ability could have done this number with Kelly...iin this number, Kelly said he wanted to incorporate things that Donald was so known for...Donald had tremendous athleticism. .Donald is considered one of the best dancers EVER! And, he was a terrific comedian, wonderful singer, serious actor...musician, etc... one of THE greatest and beloved talents. Make em laugh was choreographed by him - brilliant, as Kelly said. See his fabulous romantic dances with Vera Ellen in Call Me Madam and his ones with Mitzi Gaynor in Anything Goes (Bing Crosby, too...Donald made ehis first movie with Bing at age 12...he was a performer all his life...starting as a child in vaudeville, with his family...he was a teen idol in the 40's...really wonderful movies with great dancing.)..and, so many other movies of his. Debbie Reynolds was the one who had the difficult time, as she was not a dancer...she said it was daunting dancing with Donald and Kelly who were both amazing dancers.
***** He was great in Private Buckaroo too :D So many amazing performances!
pup lover More like talent straight for insanely incredibly hard work and epic determination.
Gotta meet with my diction coach today. I'd better bring my tap shoes cause ya never know.
Wurdswurth lol
"Round tones, round tones" hahaha
Tears of laughter...
I’m pretty sure they probably only ever wear tap shoes anywhere just in case they get the opportunity to break out into song and dance. You gotta come prepared!
@@nikkospelledlikethat8140 exactly!
Donald O'Connor steals this entire number (at least for me). Both in singing, and in dancing.
+Katrina Bailey And definitely in pulling faces ;-)
+Katrina Bailey Without a doubt one of THE most brilliant song and dance men, EVER, was Donald O' Connor! I'm an actor and singer myself, and whenever I would do a musical I would watch this number (mainly to watch HIM!) and "Make Em' Laugh" to get revved up and inspired!
+Katrina Bailey Donald steals the whole movie!!!!!
+Katrina Bailey I preffer Gene Kelly, he seems more passionate, with more attitude.
+belledejour15 I respectfully disagree! Mr. O'Connor OOZES with attitude, spunk and enthusiasm. Gene Kelly was incredible, but Donald O'Connor was BEYOND amazing!! Just my own opinion...
My kids and I got to know Gene Kelly. He was wonderful to my children-and all kids actually. He welcomed my kids’ questions and they asked him why they couldn’t see any taps on the bottoms of his shoes. He explained that he and Mr. O’Connor danced the scene without taps and then danced it all over again off camera with taps so the sound could be recorded.
(My kids met Donald O’Connor as well and asked if he could make a funny face and he did. Sweet man.)
The fact that its implied that the teacher does not hear the music makes the tap dancing part even better
Tap dancing like this needs to become popular again.
I can't stop watching this. I'm always amazed no matter how many times I see this.
I wish I could meet Gene and Donald O' Conor.
Then you should search up "Moses Supposes Ghost" It has amazing animation and brings up a unique idea.
The level of entertainment and sportsmanship is astounding.
+SmolShades Animation cannot compare to the real thing friend
Borderlands Steve
Although, it is really close, i have to agree.
Seriously, how is this possible by any means
My third-grade teacher used to break into song and tap dance during class. The vice principal actually came into class once because he got a report that we were having "too much fun".
Alpha Kretin
What? There's no such thing as having too much fun!
👩🏽🏫a.kretin: i'm jealous! sounds like the best learning environment ever👍🏽
What an awesome teacher!
I'm so glad a few teachers still do things like that. My theater teacher would break into song during class (though he was a little too stiff for dance), and it wasn't uncommon for our entire lesson during the musical theater elective to be conveyed through an infamous Bob Song Break.
Fun? DAS IST VERBOTEN!
2:17 How convenient that I happen to wear tap shoes today!
Wallz TheGamer I think if I could dance like that I'd probably wear tap shoes every day as an excuse to spontaneously burst into a number. XD
+humiliatedgrapes
same
+humiliatedgrapes same here
Every old hollywood musical ever hahahah
Wallz TheGamer XD
Of all the ways to be introduced to this movie, a random Japanese animation about a cute little ghost and possessed dancing shoes was among the least expected... :-D
ya me too
+kain5056 Haha, I know.
I loooove that animation!! It's so cute!
I adore how synchronized this is, yet they both keep their own personalities!
I remember watching this the first time and crying, of how touched I was by their dance moves. Specially Donald O Conner, who is my favorite dancer and character. Perfect movie.
Just watched on Christmas day.Never get tired of it. This scene with these two genius's is just class the timing is just awesome and with Debbie in the movie too it cant get any better.
My mind is always blasted by how flawlessly and beautifully Gene and Donald dance together.
They're just SO in time, it's incredible. Even if the taps were dubbed in afterwards their leg angles almost completely match all the way through. From 2:57 it's stunning - that 2nd clap sounded like one person until I watched it again. I can't get over it.
Donald was an AMAZING trapper.... the fact that he said he was looking at Gene's feet the entire time during this number is ABSURD to me....
One of the most magnificent dances ever put to film, and the diction coach’s reactions are priceless, especially when they stop him from moving away from the curtains!
Friendship goals
I love Cosmo's solo at 2:28...such talent and grace. I can watch it over and over.
Kudos to Donald O’Connor. The unsung hero of the 1940-50’s musicals.
Cosmo had such impish charm, it's absolutely delicious. Donald played it to perfection. For me the icing on the cake of this scene is the wonderful, brassy 50's jazz style of the music.
The moves themselves are quite simple but its when you put them together and to that timing , complete with this flawless execution that it becomes one of the most amazing dances ever!! I just wish more of this kind of movie was made!!
You never see this kind of talent nowadays. Its sad.
Watching in 2022, post covid blues , this is lifting my spirits . How is it possible Donald Oconnor had no formal training and danced like this. Genius dance routine
This is an awesome song with awesomely talented people. How come movies aren't like this anymore?! :(
Because it's not realistic and/or it's not "edgy" so it would be G rated and flop at the theater.
Broadway performers can sing, act and dance but their names won't draw a crowd. So they get A list celebrities and auto tune them to make ticket sales.
Because they fell out of favor around the 1960s with the general audience, so they didnt need actors who could also sing and dance anymore, thereby leading to it being almost impossible to make a big name musical if they wanted to since they werent scouting this kind of talent anymore.
I hate the general audience that let the movie musical fall by the wayside.
Aghh Donald O'Connor is the absolute best!
I’m learning this dance in my tap class and I couldn’t be happier 🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️ Gene Kelly is my hero and the reason I started taking dance. Learning what he choreographed is just an incredible experience! 💕
I believe I just saw the best dancers on earth.....
Thanks for the thumbs up good people.
this is by far one of the hardest dance sequences ever filmed and they rocked this has always been my favorite movie
この時代の作品は、こういうストーリーから少し離れたシーンのクオリティも高すぎます
Love everything about this movie. Gene Kelly was so precise and athletic in these numbers while Donald O’Connor was more lanky and lithe. It was a very special combination that I could watch everyday on repeat.
I always think Gene Kelly was about precision and, Donald O Conner was about fluidity with their dance scenes.
The best part of this whole number is that it's a non-sequitur. Never have I been so enthralled by a musical number which accomplishes nothing except be spectacular. Cats eat your heart out.
that tap dancing is INSANITY!
Good god this film is so good.
Oh Donald O Connor! Can you be anymore adorable? I have the biggest crush on you!!!
They dance so carefree :)
So many good dance sequences in this movie. Can watch over and over again.
I love this clip. Gene Kelly was great, but I always thought that Donald O'Conner was way underated. He was a great dancer!
And he was the greatest comedian of all. But he wasn't Kelly - he didn't have his looks, his sex appeal and his athletic dance style. But they were a perfect match as duo - hero and sidekick.
Remember when actual talent (aka this) factored into getting an acting role? Neither do I.
I remember a time. A time when Singing in the Rain was in theaters.
Emember that today its all abot the look , they just digitally create the talent!!
lildeanturbonc1 And that is why no one goes to the movies anymore.
lildeanturbonc1 Ironic that this film is set in an era when looks counted for a lot. Many silent movie stars owed their success to their looks.
yes. and a color of your skin
Can't get over how these 2 men could dance like that on that little desk top without stepping on each other or knocking the other over with such rapid movements! Amazing!
They don't make dance numbers like this anymore. Awesome.
that depends on the ideas
@@metepec20092012 Let's just say I'd rather see something like _Singin' in the Rain_ than another stupid superhero movie.
I can't get this song out of my head; I sing it around the house all day long. I simply cannot watch this scene enough; twice a day is a minimum. This is, hands down, my favorite (duo-dance) movie scene of all time. (Of course my favorite solo dance number is the title number from this movie.) Gene was the penultimate dancer; he could do it all. But his particular style is just so appealing! He was a master and perfectionist for sure, but all the while maintaining that boyish charm and love of life. It's just impossible, at least for me, to watch him dance without having a smile.on my face. Love, love, love Gene Kelly!! Donald O'Connor was the perfect co-star for this movie. He's cute, funny and quite a gifted dancer in his own right.
I have to have to say, while both of these men are wonderful dancers, I do believe that Donald O'Conner is technically a better dancer; however, Gene Kelly has a lot of swag and attitude that is a joy to watch.
This was brought to you by the letter 4:13
1:54 Always sends down shivers down my spine...
why?
My favorite part...
+Joseph Clydex Locsin Your spine you mean? :)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Masterpiece! The greatest tap dance duo of all time! Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor were absolutely incredible!❤❤
I love the sound the shoes make with the floor. Am I the only one?
Well it is called Tap Dancing after all :)
Genius. Sometimes I just watch the whole thing and just watch their feet. Mesmerising talent.
After all this years... We haven't seen scenes choreographed as good as the scenes in this movie :D it's just amazing
What Frank Sinatra said in "That's Entertainment!" about Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell dancing to "Begin The Beguine" works here too: "You know, you can wait around and hope. But you'll never see the likes of this ever again."
Love the funny facial expressions from Donald o Connor in this scene! 🤣🤣also the choreography is outstanding and one of the best musicals ever made!!
La La Land has nothing on this.
Hank Elliott True That. I can't believe they are comparing La La Land to a 30's/40's musical
Hank Elliott I love both La la land and Singing in the rain. I prefer singing in the rain but props to La la land for bringing back the beautiful atmosphere that Singing in the rain contained.
Lana Esslinger Singin’ In The Rain was 50s....
They do hold long shots in dance scenes and enough full body shots to see what the dancers are doing....but it's never longer than 10 seconds in the group performances and then the camera instantly goes to the next person. We get only a glimpse of what they can do, but in the musicals of the 30s and 40s and 50s, when someone on their payroll could dance they let the audience know that. The duet numbers were nice, and they danced as well as I probably could (I'm under no illusions of my dancing skills) but for the most part, the choreography of La La Land was a bit simplistic (and yes, I know that the point of it was to portray ordinary, flawed, everyday people....but it's just not the same, especially when you remember the work and effort the other dancers put into their craft for years ie the behind the scenes story of 3 numbers from this movie).
I totally agree. Musicals must be done by dancers or singer who can also act and not by actors who can sing or dance.
And a great musical must also have a great choreography, so La La Land is nothing compared to Singin' in the rain and other musicals from the gold era.
This was the exact moment this went from a great movie to a phenomenal movie
I can't even count how many times I've watched this. It's just brilliant.
DONALD O'CONNOR KILLS ME WITH THOSE FACE EXPRESSIONS!!!!!!
Watching it 2020, can connect with characters.. The entire movie and its actors sheer class apart.. Hats off to all those involved in creating this master piece 🙏
This blows my mind every time. Every little move is right on cue, tight, in line... It hurts me it's so good.
God imagine the diction coach going home and having to tell his wife what happened at work today. How do you even begin to describe it?
"Well I was doing the job I was hired to do with the biggest star in Hollywood until his rude friend came in and started insulting me. Then the two broke out into song and perfectly choreographed dance while manhandling me and made bedlam of my office."
And all because the star couldn't say "Arrround the rrrocks the rrrugged rrrascal rrran."
a mose is a mose
a rose is a rose
a toes is a toes
lmao
so you figured all that out. Hoopde doodle.
Beyer Brady HOOP dee doody doodle!
It couldn't be a lily or a dafa daly dilly either
Beyer Brady I
I always have to think of Gollum...
Saw somewhere the word "erroneously", immediately thought of this song, and had to listen to it :)
God why can't people still dance like this this is perfection you can't beat we need more people like this :)
One of the greatest dance numbers I've even seen on film.
I’m in awe of these amazing dancers coz it must have been so hard to show that much energy in each take
I love this scene. These guys nail this dance. I've always Donald, he's so spunky in all of his roles.
I still get goosebumps every time I watch this clip, sheer genius and talent never gets tiring.
Just watched on Christmas day.Never get tired of it. This scene with these two genius's is just class the timing is just awesome and with Debbie in the movie too it cant get any better.
I love how they're trolling the teacher throughout the whole song until the end!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! XD
I grew up watching this movie and this dance scene is still one of best ever done on screen. These guys were fantastic and pure talent together. We could use some more of this in this world again. Maybe it wouldn’t be the big seller at the movies but boy it would it be fun.
Why cant we have tap numbers like this nowadys? D:
"Moses supposes", incroyable l'articulation tout en chantant et dansant. Moi, même avec les années de pratique théâtrale, j'avais encore du mal à dire : Les chaussettes de l'archiduchesse..." alors le chanter... mdr.
GENE, JE T'AIME !!! Tu es le dieu de la danse avec ton pote Donald.
absolute perfection never to be repeated
We said the same thing about Robin Williams' Genie, and yet here we are
Nightcore Subliminals, and we’re still waiting... robin William is untouchable imo
Terence Hutchinson ...LA LA LAND enters the chat
Great pairing for a great routine.
“You can sit around and wait but you’ll never see the likes of this again.” Ain’t that the truth
June 2020 and it’s as timeless as ever. This is what a chaotic good friendship looks like and I love it!
Couldn’t agree more!
All I can think is that guy sitting there,speaking to himself:
WHAT-THE-FLYING-FUCK-IS-HAPPENING-HERE?
Singing, acting, and oh the dancing! Now they let anyone in Hollywood. You don't even have to have a talent anymore!
***** What a dumb reply.
***** Her stating that she feels they'll let just about anyone into Hollywood these days regardless of talent is neither here nor there in terms of what she wants to do with her own life. Your reply might have been valid had she said anything about wanting to be in the business herself, but she didn't so it isn't; hence it being a dumb reply.
***** First off, you assume she's average, that she couldn't be a movie star if she really wanted to be one. Fine, assume what you will. But that still doesn't change the fact that your reply was completely pointless. As I said, one thing has nothing to do with the other. Did you think that was a clever reply, to say 'if it's so easy to do it then why don't you do it'? That's the simplest, most childish response to give someone. Instead of posing a solid argument you reply with a pointless question either out of laziness or just plain ignorance. You have literally no valid argument here against her comment and the fact that you think you do and expect me to act like you do is both frustrating and amusing. It's apparent that you're just going to continue to talk me in circles with your stupidity, and I really have better ways to spend my time than trying to explain something to a person who doesn't respond to logic and reasonable comments, so I think I'm quite done here. Good luck in life, buddy.
I hate to get in the middle of this, but you both have valid points! Name calling isn't required from either side to enhance those points either.
megan0127 Exactly my thought. These guys had some genuine talent. Or Gene-uine talent :P
The talent here. Amazing
Gene is maravilhous, but Donald is fantastic👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Almost every time their arms, hands and legs are in the exact same position, it blows my mind like dynamite.
They are both so amazing! But Gene Kelly does look like hes working harder. Donald O'Connor is just so smooth! One of the best musical numbers of all time IMO
What I would have given to witness this talent in real life. Absolutely brilliant.
They’re both amazing- I mean doing that on your own is tough enough but the synchronization-look at their lower bodies, completely in time and step with each other.
These guys are amazing!!! I love this movie! This takes A LOT of practice and strength!
